Good Day for Marriage

Apr 7th, 2009 by Will | 0

Looks like DC has recognized same-sex marriages from other states and Vermont overturned their wretched, homophobic governor to recognize same-sex marriage.  Good day for marriage, good day for America!

Congratulations, Perversion!

Apr 7th, 2009 by Will | 0

Michael Savage is a douche, without the refreshing clean feeling after.  Just sayin’! But if he thinks that we’re seeing the “victory for perversion”, then I say, “Congrats, Perversion! I always knew you could do it!”  Viva la perversion!

Youth Speaks @ Vermont Senate Debate

Mar 24th, 2009 by Will | 0

I was terribly impressed with the speech this young man gave to the Vermont Senate as it debated the issue of same-sex marriage. So glad that Vermont made the right decision; now let’s hope their House follows suit and marriage becomes a law in Vermont!

The Gay Behind Facebook

Mar 18th, 2009 by Will | 2

The magazine Fast Company reports on Chris Hughes, from Hickory, NC, and his work as co-founder of Facebook and on the Obama web campaign (thanks Towleroad).
I love this part: “At boarding school, he came of age more quickly than he had imagined. Part of that process was realizing he was gay: ‘I went to boarding [...]

Damned Irish

Mar 18th, 2009 by Will | 0

Yet again, it seems, the gays get no love from the Irish … WTF? How are we in 2009 and LGBTQ folks are still so easily discriminated against — and with no mainstream press coverage? Ugh …

References to Milk Still Relevant, I Guess

Mar 10th, 2009 by Will | 1

Thanks to Towleroad for sharing the image below.  I suppose the reference to Dan White, Harvey Milk and George Moscone’s killer, continues to have cultural relevance for some homophobic assholes. Unbelievable. Dan White = Hero? Really? I was thinking more like “Dan White = Domestic Terrorist” … following Bush, I think I’m going to start [...]

Passive Aggressive Politics

Mar 7th, 2009 by Will | 5

I don’t do well with stupid people. And when their stupidity (and homophobia) interrupt my precious reading time at Starbucks, then my patience is even less.  Yesterday, I “reclaimed” my Friday morning to read a couple books that I have had on my list for a while, and which I’ll probably be teaching in the [...]

Stupid Georgia Rep Charlice Byrd

Feb 19th, 2009 by Will | 1

Seriously, this is what you’re worried about Charsleaze Charlice?  I’m so unbeliebly angered by this idiot, who must have been traumatized as a child by Mardi Gras as a native New Orleansian, because her tirade against professors who study controversial issues is frightening.  She seems to think that because one researches something, often not using [...]

On Being Wise

Feb 17th, 2009 by Will | 1

I love “Ted Talks” and this one was recommended to me by a friend. I like what it does, the ways that Schwartz calls on us to be wise, but also the smart ways that he slams scripted curricula for what it really does: disabling teaches, diminishing their impact, and destroying wisdom as a space [...]

Richard Cohen’s a Douche

A remarkably stupid douche at that … that queen needs to rethink his magnets … and his office decor …
